He said he gave it to God with grace, and so he couldn't have that everlasting life.
I asked him, so he couldn't have that life, right?
When he'd go to heaven or hell, and he's like,
well, it would be very hard for him to get it to heaven,
and it would be very hard for him to get it to heaven.
Please take your seats!
If you would please tell me the song 15.
Song number 15.
Lead me to count.
Sing it out on the first.
King of my life, lie proudly now,
thy child of glory be.
Lest I forget thy fourth round now,
lead me to Calvary.
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
lest I forget my agony,
lest I forget thy love for me,
lead me to Calvary.
Show me the tomb where thou wast laid,
fame early morn and when.
Angels on roads of white array,
are nearly bowels now stirred.
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
lest I forget my agony,
lest I forget my love for me,
lead me to Calvary.
Lead me, like air, be through the gloom,
come with a gift to thee.
Show to me now the empty tomb,
lead me to Calvary.
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
lest I forget my agony,
lest I forget my love for me,
lead me to Calvary.
May I be willing, Lord, to bear,
daily my cross for thee.
Even lack of love free to share,
thou hast borne all for me.
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
lest I forget my agony,
lest I forget my love for me,
lead me to Calvary.
Father God, we thank you so much
for everything you do for us.
And here as blessed service,
for all of us here,
we ask you to please sing.
Amen.
Please come with me to song 188.
Song number 188.
The love of God.
The love of God
is greater far than any hell
can ever tell
in both the eye of the highest one
and reaches to the lowest hell.
He will be fair now,
now to care not his son,
to win his earning child.
He buried his son
and brought him from his sin.
The love of God
how rich and pure
now that your lessons spawn.
He shall forevermore endure
the saints' and angels' song.
When your return shall pass away
and earth may grow
and kingdoms fall,
women who here refuse to pray
on rocks and hills
and mountains fall,
not those who show
trust in your own
that your lessons spawn.
Reheating grace
to add a trace
the saints' and angels' song.
The love of God
how rich and pure
now that your lessons spawn.
He shall forevermore endure
the saints' and angels' song.
Coming beneath the ocean bed
and where the skies
of hearts remain,
where every spark
on earth have willed
and every hand
has cried one day
to invite the love
of God above
to bring the ocean dry.
Your goodness, Lord,
contain the whole,
those transferred sky to sky.
The love of God
how rich and pure
now that your lessons spawn.
He shall forevermore endure
the saints' and angels' song.
All right, this time we'll go through our announcements.
If you don't have a bulletin, slip up your hands nice and high
until Brother Dominique gets to you with a bulletin.
On the inside, we have our service time.
Sunday mornings at 1030 is our preaching service.
Sunday nights at 630 and then Wednesday nights at 7 is our Bible study.
This week will be in Jeremiah chapter 32.
The soul-winning times are listed down below
as well as salvations, baptisms, and offering totals.
Let's go ahead and count up the soul-winning from the past few days
going back to Monday, which would have been the seventh.
Anything from Monday the seventh?
One over here.
All right, four in the back.
Anything else?
Some people are out of my view now, it seems like.
Three over here. All right.
And then one, one.
Anything else for Monday?
How about Tuesday?
All right, two for Tuesday.
And then we got three right here.
Six for the team up in North Phoenix.
One over here.
All right, anything else for Tuesday?
And then how about Wednesday?
I know my half of the group had a total of three saved.
Anything outside of my group on soul-winning today?
All right, four over here.
One over here.
All right, anything else for today?
All right, very good. Keep up the great work on soul-winning.
And as you can see, we're doing a major remodel here,
opening up a whole new section to the auditorium,
making space for some new people.
But in the meantime, some of you see through a glass darkly over there.
But soon it will be face-to-face.
And in the long run, we're going to have a lot more room in the auditorium.
We're going to have a fourth mother-baby room.
We're picking up a bathroom, bigger break room.
So great things are happening.
This plastic is probably going to be up for about three weeks, would be my guess.
Hopefully they'll be done sooner, could be longer, but probably about three weeks.
So please keep your children away from it, all right?
I don't want to have to be the parent to all of your children.
You need to make sure that your children stay out of there
that's a hazardous place on the other side of that plastic.
And it sort of screams out to children, touch me, grab me, tear me down.
But you need to teach your children to resist temptation.
All right, so across the page there, the November birthdays,
we celebrated that on Sunday already with the doughnuts, the anniversaries as well.
And then down at the very bottom of the page, the Psalm 46 memory passage.
Who's already started this? You've got verse one done.
Who's finished with verse one?
All right, I heard her quote it before the service, very good.
And then who's going to get this whole passage done?
Who's planning on working with it? All right, great.
Psalm 46, great chapter.
And then the pictures for the yearbooks, the portraits that we're doing,
tonight is the last night.
So there are a lot of people that are already signed up to take their pictures tonight.
But Brother Paul does have a few slots open for a walk-in.
So grace is being extended unto you if you've missed the boat on the pictures.
So if you want to get your picture taken to be in the yearbook
and you didn't get it taken yet,
you can just go directly to that room in that far corner back there,
right after the service, right as soon as the service ends,
and Paul's going to squeeze in a few walk-ins.
He's got a few slots available for that.
So is there anybody like that tonight?
Every head bowed, every eyes closed?
Does anybody like that? Does anybody want to get your picture taken?
You get emailed to you a really nice picture.
And the only catch is that you're going to be in the yearbook of Faith Board Baptist Church.
That could be like a checklist someday for the Antichrist.
No, I'm just kidding. Just kidding.
So anyway, that opportunity is available if you consult amongst yourselves and decide to get your picture.
Who already got your picture taken for the yearbook? Put up your hand.
That's what I want to see. Great.
If your hand wasn't up, the picture studio is calling right after the service.
And then on the back, everyone's invited to the wedding this Friday at 6 p.m.
This is going to be a great time.
This Friday night, 6 p.m., right here at Faith Board Baptist Church.
But we do ask that you RSVP if you're coming.
But don't be shy. We want everyone to come.
But please RSVP if you're coming.
And in fact, you must RSVP by midnight tonight.
That's the deadline.
So if you've got a smartphone, whip it out and RSVP right now.
Email the church email address.
Otherwise, do it when you get home.
But we've got to RSVP by midnight tonight or you're going to turn into a pumpkin.
I mean, you're not going to be allowed to come.
So basically, the wedding is this Friday.
Who's coming to the wedding this Friday night?
See, lots of people are coming.
And we're going to have dinner. We're going to have cake.
It's going to be an exciting time.
And that's this Friday.
Then other upcoming events.
We've got the church picnic coming up.
Baby shower.
Homeschool field trip to the zoo.
Christmas caroling on December 19th.
We've had a blast with this in the past.
It's really fun.
We're going to meet here at the church building at 5.30 in the evening.
And then we're going to head down to Awatukee and go Christmas caroling door to door.
It's really fun.
If you're kind of shy, you could hang toward the back of the group.
Because we're going to be going to the door with, we'll break into groups of like 20.
Okay.
And then we try to get like a trumpet or a saxophone in each group or some kind of a portable instrument just to make it a little more exciting.
And so that's going to be on December 19th.
Monday evening, 5.30. Don't miss that.
And then on Christmas day itself, which falls on a Sunday, we've got cookies and hot cocoa after the evening service.
We've got a soul winning marathon coming up in January.
January 14th, Jacksonville, Florida.
Brother Baker is going to be flying to Jacksonville.
He's going to be running this soul winning marathon because he's planning to start a church in Jacksonville, Florida on August 6th of 2017.
You know, just about what, eight months from now.
So he's going to go there and go soul winning with a lot of the future church members there.
And that's going to be on January 14th.
And then I personally am going to be flying to Minneapolis on January 20th for a soul winning marathon on that Friday.
And so we've got just back to back soul winning marathons, two parts of the country.
So I wanted to make you aware of those so that you could pray for us and let people know, share it on social media, let people know that are in that part of the country.
We usually have like 100 people show up to these things at least.
Sometimes we've had as many as 150 people show up.
So very exciting.
And that's about it for announcements.
Let's go and introduce any first time visitors.
If you're here for the very first time, we just want to quickly get your name where you're from.
So if it's your first time here, go and stand.
Do we have anybody here for the first time?
All right. Very good.
Let's go ahead and sing our next song then.
Song number one hundred and thirty nine.
I know whom I have believed.
Song number one hundred and thirty nine.
But I know whom I have believed in.
And am persuaded that she is able
To keep that which I have given
Unto him against that day.
I know not one of good or ill
May be greater for me
Of weary ways or rolling days
Before his face I see.
But I know whom I have believed in
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I have given
Unto him against that day.
I know not when my Lord may come
That night or noon may fare
For if I walk the fair with him
Or meet him in the air.
But I know whom I have believed in
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I have given
Unto him against that day.
Jeremiah chapter 32
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah
Which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar
For then the king of Babylon's army beseeched Jerusalem
And Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison
Which was in the king of Judah's house
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up
Saying wherefore dost thou prophesy and say
Thus saith the Lord, behold I will give this city
Into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall take it
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape
Out of the hand of the Chaldeans
But shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
And shall speak with him mouth to mouth
And his eyes shall behold his eyes
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon
And there shall he be until I visit him saith the Lord
Though you fight with the Chaldeans you shall not prosper
And Jeremiah said
The word of the Lord came unto me saying
Behold Hanimeel the son of Shalom
Thine uncle shall come unto thee saying
By thee my field that is in Anathoth
For the right of redemption is in thine to buy it
So Hanimeel mine uncle's son came to me in the court
Of the prison according to the word of the Lord
And said unto me buy my field I pray thee
That is in Anathoth which is in the country of Benjamin
For the right of inheritance is thine
And the redemption is thine
Buy it for thyself
Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord
And I bought the field of Hanimeel
My uncle's son that was in Anathoth
And weighed him the money even seventeen shekels of silver
And I subscribed the evidence and sealed it
And took witness
And weighed him the money in the balances
So I took the evidence of the purchase
Both that which was sealed according to the law and custom
And that which was open
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Barak
The son of Nereiah the son of Maasiah
In the sight of Hanimeel mine uncle's son
And in the presence of the witnesses
That subscribed the book of the purchase
Before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison
And I charged Barak before them saying
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel
Take these evidences
This evidence of the purchase
Both which is sealed
And this evidence which is open
And put them in an earthen vessel
That they may continue many days
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel
Houses and fields and vineyards
Shall be possessed again in this land
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Barak the son of Nereiah
I prayed unto the Lord saying
Ah Lord God behold thou hast made the heaven and the earth
By thy great power and stretched out arm
And there is nothing too hard for thee
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands
And recompense thine in the iniquity of the fathers
Into the bosom of their children after them
The great the mighty God
The Lord of hosts is his name
Great in counsel and mighty in work
For thine eyes are opened upon all the ways of the sons of men
To give every one according to his ways
And according to the fruit of his doings
Which has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt
Even unto this day and in Israel
And among other men
And hast made thee a name as at this day
And hast brought forth thy people Israel
Out of the land of Egypt with signs
And with wonders
And with a strong hand
And with a stretched out arm
And with great terror
And hast given them this land
Which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them
A land flowing with milk and honey
And they came in and possessed it
But they obeyed not thy voice
Neither walked in thy law
They have done nothing of all that thou commandest them to do
Therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them
Behold the mounts
They are come unto the city to take it
And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans
That fight against it
Because of the sword and of the famine
And of the pestilence
And what thou hast spoken is come to pass
And behold thou seest it
And thou hast said unto me
O Lord God, buy thee the field for money
And take witnesses
For the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh
Is there anything too hard for me?
Therefore thus saith the Lord
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans
And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
And he shall take it
And the Chaldeans that fight against this city
Shall come and set fire on this city
And burn it with the houses
Upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal
And poured out drink offerings unto other gods
To provoke me to anger
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
Have only done evil before me from their youth
For the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger
With the work of their hands, saith the Lord
For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger
And of my fury from the day that they built it
Even unto this day
That I should remove it from before my face
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel
And of the children of Judah
Which they have done to provoke me to anger
They, their kings, their princes
Their priests and their prophets
And the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem
And they have turned unto me the back and not the face
Though I taught them rising up early and teaching them
Yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction
But they set their abominations in the house
Which is called by my name to defile it
And they built the high places of Baal
Which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom
To cause their sons and their daughters
To pass through the fire unto Molech
Which I commanded them not
Neither came it into my mind
That they should do this abomination
To cause Judah to sin
And now therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel
Concerning this city, whereof ye say
It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
By the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries
Whither I have driven them in mine anger
And in my fury and in great wrath
And I will bring them again unto this place
And I will cause them to dwell safely
And they shall be my people
And I will be their God
And I will give them one heart and one way
That they may fear me forever
For the good of them and of their children after them
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them
That I will not turn away from them
To do them good
But I will put my fear in their hearts
That they should not depart from me
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do good
And I will plant them in this land assuredly
With my whole heart and with my whole soul
For thus saith the Lord
Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people
So will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them
And fields shall be bought in this land
Whereof ye say
It is desolate without man or beast
It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans
Men shall buy fields for money
And subscribe evidences and seal them
And take witnesses in the land of Benjamin
And in the places about Jerusalem
And in the cities of Judah
And in the cities of the mountains
And in the cities of the valley
And in the cities of the south
For I will cause their captivity to return
Sayeth the Lord
Brother Mike Madison will you pray for us please?
One announcement quickly before I get into the sermon
Is that tomorrow night is the Spanish night
I forgot to announce that
Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock is the Spanish night
Jeremiah chapter number 32 the Bible reads in verse number 1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord
In the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah
Which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar
And for then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem
And Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison
Which was in the king of Judah's house
So what the Bible means here when it says that Jerusalem is besieged
Is that Nebuchadnezzar has already made his way through their country
He's taking over
He's controlling everything except the city of Jerusalem itself
The walled city
They are holed up in the city
And to be under siege means that the armies of Nebuchadnezzar
Are surrounding the city
Not letting anyone go in or out
And the goal is that the people inside the city would run out of food and water
And eventually have to just surrender and allow him to come in
Or he would eventually have a successful attack
Where he's able to get through their defenses
And get over the wall or through the gates
Or somehow break through and defeat them
So when you're under siege in that position
Obviously it's a very dire situation
The end is imminent for them
Well it also says that at this time
That this chapter is being given
That Jeremiah is shut up in the court of the prison
Which was in the king of Judah's house
So basically he's not really deep in a dungeon at this point
Now later on in the book of Jeremiah
He's going to be in deep dark dungeons
And he's actually going to be in the bottom of an outhouse
In human waste
You know at times in the book of Jeremiah
But at this point he's in the court of the prison
And this is sort of like a minimum security prison that he's in
So a lot of times guys today when they're for nonviolent crimes
Will go to prison
And they'll go to what's called a prison camp
Or you know a halfway house or something
Basically that's the type of thing he's in
He's in prison but it's not really that bad
Because he's just in the court of the prison
And you can see as we get into this chapter
That he has a little bit of liberty
He can't go anywhere
But yet he's able to meet with friends
He's able to spend money and buy land and everything
As we just read about
So he's in the court of the prison
Which is in the king of Judah's house
Why is he in prison?
What was his crime that put him there?
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up saying
Wherefore dost thou prophesy and say
Thus saith the Lord
Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon
And he shall take it
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans
But shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
And shall speak with him mouth to mouth
And his eyes shall behold his eyes
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon
And there shall he be until I visit him saith the Lord
Though ye fight with the Chaldeans
Ye shall not prosper
So that's what Jeremiah had preached
And this has got him arrested
Zedekiah got angry that he's preaching that they're going to lose to the Babylonians
That they're going to go into captivity
And that Zedekiah the king himself is going to be taken captive
You know there's something wrong when preaching the word of God is a crime
And you know sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me
People should not be arrested and put in prison
Just for preaching the Bible or their interpretation of the Bible
Even if that which they preach is false
You know they should be allowed to preach and say whatever they want from the word of God
In America we supposedly have freedom of religion and freedom of speech
So that should include any kind of Bible preaching
Anybody should be able to preach their views of God and the Bible
But today that's under attack because it's being called hate speech
And I'm actually going to do an entire sermon on this on Sunday
But hate speech is just a code word for taking away people's free speech
Because hate speech doesn't really have any definition other than speech we don't like
Because I can understand if you actually talked about hating people
Which I have talked about and have preached about
And people said that's hate speech
I'd say okay yeah it's hate speech
But you can literally just say things that people don't agree with
Just if they're negative it's hate speech
For example I've been reported by governments for hate speech
The United Kingdom government for saying that Mohammed was a false prophet
And that he's a wicked person
That's hate speech
I also have been accused of hate speech for preaching against birth control
Now can somebody explain to me what preaching about birth control has to do with hate
But that's what they say that's hate speech
Even to just say you know and yeah I've made some statements that were more radical
But even milder statements that I've been made that I have made
Such as just you know that birth control is a sin
Or that we don't agree with the feminist movement
Or that women should marry bare children and guide the house
Even that's been called hate speech
Because just anything negative that you preach
And say that the powers that be don't consider politically correct
That's just classified as hate speech
Just hate speech
And somehow they think that there's a reason to limit free speech
Well because it's hate speech
Now here's the thing
If people were only preaching things that were friendly and positive and nice
No one would ever even try to make those things illegal
No one gets upset when you say love one another and kumbaya
It's when you start saying negative things that people actually would even get offended in the first place
What I'm trying to say is this
The whole protection of freedom of speech and freedom of religion is protecting speech that's negative and unpopular
That's the only kind of speech that even needs protecting
Nobody needs to protect people when they're saying something popular and politically correct and positive
It's when you're saying something negative
You know in the case of the founding of our country
They were saying all kinds of really negative things about the king of England
And they're saying negative things about the parliament
And they're saying negative things about the tax collector
And the governor of Massachusetts
Or all these different people that they didn't like
They're criticizing them
They're criticizing religions
They're criticizing things that they don't like
And that's what was supposed to be protected by free speech
Negative speech
We're supposed to be able to say things that are positive and negative
We're supposed to be able to speak our minds
But today there is an agenda at work to quell free speech in this country and all over the world
In many countries they've already succeeded
United Kingdom, South Africa where they're already squashing free speech
But thank God in the United States of America we still have it for now
And you say, well what are you talking about Pastor Harrison?
Now that Trump's elected we're never going to have a problem
It was only Hillary that wanted to take away our free speech
Oh really?
Because I seem to remember Trump talking about these radical religious extremists
And how they shouldn't have access to the internet
You remember that?
And here's the thing
Yeah today they talk about the radical Islam
Well next it's going to be the radical Christianity
Radical fundamentalist Christians
Why?
Because it's hate speech
That's why
And so we need to beware of this agenda
Watch out for it
Keep your eyes open
When people start talking hate speech
Or exceptions to free speech
When it has to do with preaching against groups of people
You know you need to be alert to that
That that's garbage
And that the person who's saying that to you
Has been brainwashed by this so called hate speech agenda
You know Jeremiah here
He's preaching a really negative sermon
You know he's doing some hate speech
By preaching about how Zedekiah is going to be taken, kidnapped to another country
So he's preaching against the leadership of the country
He's preaching against the government
He's preaching against the people
Saying that they're all in sin
And they're whores and whoremongers and adulterers
And this preaching ends up getting him arrested
Now this is why most preachers won't preach the way that Jeremiah preached
Is because they don't want to go to prison
But even though Jeremiah goes to prison throughout this book
God always protects him
God always takes care of him
And he ends up being blessed in his latter end
And at this time sure he's in prison
But he's in a really light affliction here
He's not in a bad prison
He'll go there later for a short period
But the Bible says in Revelation chapter 2
It says
Every Bible believing preacher is not going to be thrown into prison
The Bible says
He didn't say
Which goes to show
That those who are afraid to faithfully preach the word of God
Are afraid of in many cases
Their own shadow or phantom
Because in reality
If most preachers would just stand up and preach the whole Bible
Whatever God wants us to preach
Then they'd be okay
That God would keep them safe
They'd be protected
But they're scared in many cases of nothing
And the Bible says
And so we need to be like Jeremiah was in this chapter
Where he faithfully preached
An unpopular message
And he paid the price for it
He's in jail
He's locked up at this time
Look at
And again
Did he hurt anyone?
Did he assault anyone?
Did he beat anyone up or kill anyone?
No
All he's doing is just preaching the Bible
Preaching the word of God
And it happened then that he went to prison
And in the future people will be arrested for that
And are being arrested for that
In this world
And it will even come to the United States of America
As sure as I'm standing here
Look at verse number 6
The Bible says
So that's his cousin, right?
The son of his uncle
Shall come unto thee saying
Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth
For the right of redemption is thine to buy it
So Hanameel, mine uncle's son
Came to me in the court of the prison
According to the word of the Lord
And said unto me
Buy my field, I pray thee
That is in Anathoth
Which is in the country of Benjamin
For the right of inheritance is thine
And the redemption is thine
Buy it for thyself
Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord
Now let me give you the significance of this here
Remember
They're besieged in Jerusalem
That means the king of Babylon and his armies
Already controlled the land
They already controlled the fields
And the lands of Benjamin and Judah
Are the lands that are right next to Jerusalem
Jerusalem is sort of on the border between
Benjamin and Judah
The way the tribes were laid out at this time
And so this field in Benjamin
Is not really something that you'd be buying
While the city's under siege
Hey, let's do this real estate deal
Let's buy some land
You know, you're not exactly buying land
Because the king of Babylon's taking over everything
And, you know, your right to own it
Is probably not going to be respected
By the conquering army
They're going to probably take it for themselves
And own it for themselves
This isn't really what's on the forefront of people's minds
Buying a field in Anathoth
Okay
But God comes to him and tells him
That he needs to buy this field from his cousin
And then his cousin just happens to show up
And say, hey, listen
The right of inheritance to the field is yours
You need to redeem it
Will you buy it?
Then he said, I knew it was the word of the Lord
Because that's not something that would ordinarily happen
That this guy would be approaching him
At this time about this type of a transaction
But because God had prophesied
That he was supposed to buy it
And then a guy shows up the next day
To sell it to him
He says, then I knew that this was the word of the Lord
Why did he know that it was the word of the Lord?
Because what had been said unto him
Actually came to pass
Okay
Now, when it comes to these type of prophecies
Or predictions
You know, the Bible is really clear
That if somebody prophesies
Or, you know, makes a prediction
That doesn't come to pass
That that person is a false prophet
Okay
Now, I'm not just saying if they're guessing
Like, yeah, I think this is going to happen
Or, yeah, this will probably happen
I'm saying when somebody says
Thus saith the Lord
And then they make a prediction
And it doesn't happen
Then that's a false prophet
Plain and simple
That's what the Bible says
Why?
Because it's bad people who do things like that
You see, the test
Of whether something is really the word of God
Is number one
Does it jive with the word that we know is true
What's already been revealed
I know that what's in this book is true
I don't know that what you or anybody else tells me is true
This is what I know to be true
This is the foundation
This is the rock of my salvation
And the rock on which I stand
And so anything that somebody tells me
Is the word of the Lord
It would have to line up with this book
I mean, that's just common sense
If this is God's word
And somebody else says something that's God's word
That contradicts it
Something's wrong
Either this book is false
Or they're false
And I know this book is not false
So therefore this book is the test
The word of God
That it's already been revealed
The written word
Not only that
If somebody says that something's gonna happen
And then it doesn't happen
Well that tells me
That it's a false prophet
The Bible tells us that in Deuteronomy
Also go to 1 John chapter 4
1 John chapter 4
So the Bible tells us in the book of Deuteronomy
That if somebody tells you
That something's gonna happen
And it doesn't happen
And they claim that it was the word of God
God doesn't make mistakes
So therefore
That person's a false prophet
That's what the Bible says
And I could give you so many examples
Of these type of false prophets
But let me just give you an example
From just this week
Okay
There was this phony Nigerian pastor
Named T.B. Joshua
Now I don't know if this guy's trying to sound like he's T.D. Jakes
He's like the African version
T.B. Joshua
Alright
And this false preacher
This phony
And look
There are all kinds of phony preachers like this
All over Africa
These Pentecostal
Charismatic type false preachers
Who just make all these predictions
And try to deceive people
And they're just taking their money
And preaching lies
And they're not preaching the truth
And so forth
And this guy is a total fraud
But he comes out this last Sunday
And makes this prediction
He had this prophecy
The Lord gave him this vision
And so he knows that the president is gonna be a woman
So he's basically saying that Hillary was gonna be elected
Now it's obvious why this guy makes that prediction
Because that's a pretty safe prediction
Why?
Because first of all you could say
Well he's got a 50-50 chance
First of all
Yeah
Yeah but not only just that
All of the
Notice he didn't make this prediction
Six months ago
Six weeks ago
Right a year ago
Notice he makes this prediction
Two days before the election
Because all of the polls were saying that Hillary was way ahead
Hillary's way ahead
Hillary's gonna win
And the fact that Donald Trump won was actually a shock to everyone
People were really surprised
Because the polling data showed him as being 4% behind
And it didn't seem like it was gonna happen for him
And it was a big turnaround
Where everybody was like
Whoa
Hillary lost
Trump won
And by the way it was a really close election
Because you know Trump won on the electoral college system
But he actually
Last time I looked at it
He had less popular vote
He actually got less votes than Hillary
So it was actually a really tight close election
But that surprised everyone
You see a few days ago
Everybody was saying
Hillary's got this in the bag
She's 4% ahead
She's gonna win
So this guy isn't really stepping out on a limb in his mind
He comes out to
Oh by the way
I got this word from the Lord
That you know
The next president in the United States is gonna be a woman
Well now he's got egg on his face
Because
Twist of fate
And you know
To everyone's surprise
She lost
She didn't win
So what's that mean about TB Joshua
You know what that means
That he's a liar and a fraud
Do you expect me to believe
That God went to TB Joshua
And told him
Oh the next president's gonna be a woman
And he's just like
Psych
No
It tells me that God's not talking to TB Joshua at all
That he's making stuff up
That he's a fraud
That he's a liar
That he's just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks
And that's what these bunch of frauds
These bunch of charlatans
These bunch of fake preachers
That go around Africa tricking people
With their crusades and preaching lies
First of all what TB Joshua preaches
Doesn't line up with the Bible
His doctrine doesn't line up with the Bible
That tells me already that he's a fraud
But when he makes a prediction like this
He shows himself to the world to be a fraud
But then what I thought was funny is just to see
His followers
Trying to make excuses for him
And trying to defend him
It's just unbelievable to me
You know
People are brainwashed
Look
If I make a mistake
Would you please just admit that I made a mistake
Now I don't make predictions like this
And I never have and I never will
I don't get word of knowledge from the Lord about future events
Never have
Don't believe I ever will
I go by the Bible
I have plenty in this book to keep me busy
For the rest of my life
I have plenty to preach
Plenty to say out of this book
I don't need to seek for these extra biblical revelations
You know
The Bible gives us everything we need to know
All the way up until the second coming of Christ
He says
Behold I come quickly
He's coming with clouds
I mean that's
That's really
You know
Up to that point we're good on information
He told us all about the tribulation
He told us all about
The second coming
That's all we need to know
We're fine
We don't need to know
Two days early
Who the president's gonna be
Especially
Living in Nigeria
Yeah that's real important
Make sure that all the people in Nigeria
Know who the president is
But all the people in Nigeria
Know who the American president's gonna be
Two days in advance
Here let me dispatch Gabriel
With that message
I mean what kind of
It's ridiculous
But I'm here to tell you
That these frauds out there
With their false predictions
Their followers will defend them
Look if I screw up
If I say something wrong from the pulpit
Not talking predictions now
Cause I'm not making any predictions
But if I say something in error
From the pulpit
Don't just go around and defend me
To the bitter end or something
And find a way to make it right
When it was really wrong
Look if you're wrong
You're wrong
But these sycophantic
Cultic followers are just like
Well but you know
Maybe there still will be
A woman president
Four years from now
That's not what he was talking about
They try to find a way
To make it still be true
Well just eventually
There's gonna be a female president
I mean come on folks
Why don't you just admit it
The guy's a fraud
And by the way
While you're at it
Why don't you admit
That the whole stupid
Jehovah's Witness religion
Is a fraud while you're at it
Since they predicted
The second coming of Christ
Six times and it never happened
Look it up
Six different dates that they said
1914, 1918
I don't have the dates on hand
But in the early 20th century
Six predictions
And while you're at it
Why don't you declare
The whole stupid
Seventh-day Adventist religion
A fraud too
Since their whole religion
Was built on
The great disappointment
When they predicted
The second coming of Christ
In 1844
And they try to distance
Themselves from that
But that is the basis
Of their whole religion
And you can go today
To Adventist.org
Not an anti-Adventist website
You can go to their own website
Adventist.org
And go to their statement of faith
And they have that stupid date
In 1844
In their statement of faith
That they still believe
That day was real
That day was still real
Even though Christ didn't come back
Something happened on that day
Well what happened?
Well something up in heaven happened
Something happened
Go look it up
Adventist.org
Go to their statement of faith
On so and so the date
1844
Something happened up there
And Jesus started cleaning up things up there
And sweeping the temple and whatever
You know what?
These people
Need to understand
That the Bible
Is enough
We've got Genesis to Revelation
We're not living back in the days of Jeremiah
Where they only had part of the Bible
And where these prophets are having to constantly bring them more
Because the Bible is in the process of being revealed
You know we've got the whole Bible
We've got Genesis to Revelation
And this is what we ought to be reading
And studying and learning
And I guarantee you that
The vast majority of these followers
Maybe Joshua
Or any of these other kooks
Have not even read this book cover to cover
But they're looking for a new revelation
It's like why don't you finish the one that God already gave you?
I mean that'd be like
If somebody said like
Oh I can't wait for Paul Wittenberger's next movie
And he didn't even watch the last one
He's halfway into it
When's the next one?
It's like whoa buddy
Why don't you finish the one that you've already got?
It'd be like you're asking for seconds on your plate
And you didn't even eat your meal
You're asking for another hot dog
You didn't even finish the one you're eating
Finish that one and then we'll talk
And God here has given you
A lot of food here
A lot of spiritual meat
And reading it once is not going to be enough
You need to read this again and again and again
In order to glean it
But they're so excited to
Oh I want to get something new
You know what it really comes down to is
More interested than they are in spiritual things
They're interested in the carnal things of this world
Like who wins an election
Instead of the spiritual things
Of the word of God
Of the Bible
They're more interested in a political sermon
Than in a spiritual sermon
That's what's going on
Because they're carnal
And they're focused on the things that are seen
Instead of the things that are not seen
But the things that are seen are temporal
And the things that are not seen are eternal
And so
You know beware of that
Now look at 1 John chapter 4
Here's some other information about false prophets
How
How we can't just believe every spirit
Right?
Look what it says in verse number 1
Beloved believe not every spirit
But try the spirits whether they're of God
Because many false prophets are gone out into the world
Hereby know ye the spirit of God
Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
Has come in the flesh is of God
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ
Has come in the flesh is not of God
And this is that spirit of antichrist
Whereof ye have heard that it should come
And even now already is it in the world
Ye are of God little children and have overcome them
Because greater is he that is in you
Than he that is of the world
Now listen to verses 5 and 6 though
Because first we had the acid test at the beginning
About whether Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
Or whether he is not come in the flesh
Okay that was one acid test
But look at another acid test here
It says they are of the world
Therefore speak they of the world
And the world heareth them
You know that's another real good sign of a false prophet
When people speak of the world
And they're of the world
And the world hears them
When you see a preacher that's popular with the world
That's a false prophet
Right
That's why the Bible said
Woe unto you when all men speak well of you
For so did their fathers unto the false prophets
Jesus said you'll be hated of all men for my name's sake
If you preach the truth
And preach the word of God
Jeremiah was not loved of the world
And accepted of the world
And neither was any other Bible believing preacher
They were all persecuted and hated of the world
When you see a preacher like Billy Graham
Where he just has doors open with every politician
And he can fill every arena
And he can be on any TV station he wants
And he can hang around with any famous people he wants
Just take it to the bank
That's a false prophet
Right there
You say well did he make a failed prediction
Well here's the thing about that
When the Bible uses the word prophet
It's not just talking about telling the future
Prophet simply means preacher
The proof of that is in Proverbs 31
When it says the words of King Lemuel
The prophecy that his mother taught him
And there's not a single prediction made in that chapter
It's just Bible preaching
And many times throughout the Bible you'll find the word prophet or prophecy
Not a foretelling of future events
But a forthtelling of telling forth the word of God
And preaching the word of God
That's what the spirit of prophecy
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
So that's a false prophet when they're beloved of the world
When you see the whole world rallying to someone
And praising them and saying how wonderful they are
Take it to the bank
That's a false prophet
Why?
They're of the world
Therefore speak they of the world
And that's why the world heareth them
It makes sense that the world would love one of their own
Who speaks what they want to hear
Who doesn't speak of what's given to them of the Father
But he's rather speaking of the world
And look at the next verse
We are of God
He that knoweth God heareth us
He that is not of God heareth not us
Hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of error
How can we identify the spirit of truth
And differentiate it from the spirit of error?
When he says us he's referring to the apostles
Specifically if we're to get the most literal surface context here
John is an apostle
And he's saying us meaning other apostles
And you could also interpret it more loosely just to include
Any preacher who's preaching the true gospel and preaching the word of God faithfully
But let's take it by its most literal interpretation and say
For example the apostles
Well that's the word of God then because the apostles wrote the New Testament
And the Bible says that the church and our faith and everything else
Is built upon the foundation of the prophets and of the apostles
Okay so the apostles are the foundation
Right?
So basically this is very similar to what Jesus said
When he said he that is of God heareth God's words
Ye therefore hear them not because you're not of God
So when you're giving someone clear scripture from the Bible and they don't receive it
That's a sign that that person is not of God
Why? Because he that is of God heareth God's words
Ye therefore hear them not because you are not of God
And the thing about that is that we're not talking about grey areas
Or things that are unclear or things that are complicated
We're talking about where you're just showing people point blank scriptures
And they just won't receive it they just won't believe it
You know and if they speak not according to this word
It's because there's no light in them
Isaiah chapter 8
So many times this is reiterated in the Bible
That there are a lot of false prophets that don't speak according to the word of God
They speak what people want to hear and are therefore loved of the world
And they even deny the Lord that bought them
And they might even publicly give lip service
Oh yeah they believe in Jesus and his death, burial and resurrection
But the spirit that's talking to them in private
Does not confess that Jesus Christ is the son of God
And that he came in the flesh
They've got an evil demonic spirit speaking to them
That's not confessing that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh
See these people sometimes lie and say both ways
Because they just speak out of both sides of their mouth
Like a politician, like a false prophet
Two people that are both the scum of the earth
Go if you would to Jeremiah chapter 32
So we see here Jeremiah said you know I knew this was the word of the Lord
Because it happened
And because it was out of the ordinary
And because if it didn't happen
Then that's never God's word
Because God's word is always right about every subject
I gotta hurry up for sake of time here but
We already read the whole chapter before the sermon
So I'll just go ahead and summarize the next bunch of verses
And then we'll jump down a little further in the chapter
Basically what's going on in this chapter is
He ends up buying the field from his cousin
And the purpose of making this purchase
Was to demonstrate the fact that even though they're besieged
And even though Jeremiah had already preached
That they're gonna lose the battle
And the Babylonians are completely gonna take over
But remember 70 years later God's gonna bring them back
And put them back in the promised land
And they're gonna again possess that land
So what God has Jeremiah do is
Do all the paperwork with the title company
And sit there and sign over the property
And he takes that paperwork that he does with his cousin to buy the land
And he's supposed to seal it up
And put it in a really secure location
Where it can be accessed again literally 70 years later
So that his land can be passed on to his heirs at that time
And the purpose of that was just to show his confidence
That the Lord is gonna bring them back
And when they come back they're going to own property once again
Fields will be bought, fields will be sold
This is sort of like when Joseph by faith the Bible says in Hebrews 11
Gave commandment concerning his bones
Where he said when God comes and leads you all out of Egypt
And into the promised land
Then at that time carry my bones with you
Because remember Jacob was buried in the promised land immediately
When Jacob died he was mummified and taken to the land of Israel
And buried in a cave there
But the last words of the book of Genesis
The very last words are that Joseph was put in a coffin in Egypt
Why? Because he by faith knew that he was gonna get carried to the promised land
But he said don't take me there until the Lord brings us all out of here
That's when you're gonna take me and put me in the promised land
By faith Hebrews 11 gave commandment concerning his bones
And then of course when the time came
Hundreds of years later, several hundred years later
Okay, 430 years from when they first entered Egypt
They took his bones, they took that coffin
And they carried it into Israel and the word was fulfilled
So that's kind of a similar thing where you know they're burying something
And saying hey this is gonna be when we get back in 70 years
This is still gonna be here
So that's kind of the whole point of this chapter
That's the chapter in a nutshell
Let me point out some other interesting things
Jump down to verse number 22
This is where Jeremiah is speaking to the Lord
He says in verse 22
And has given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them
A land flowing with milk and honey
And they came in and possessed it
But they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law
Listen to this
They've done nothing of all that thou commanded them to do
Therefore thou has caused all this evil to come upon them
I mean that's pretty strong saving saying look these people are
They're so disobedient
They're not doing anything that you've told them to do
I mean that's just a verse to highlight just how rebellious and disobedient
The children of Israel were in Jeremiah's sight
And in God's sight
I mean they're that disobedient
And then he says behold the mounts
They are come unto the city to take it
The mounts would be mounted troops
The mounts are men on horseback soldiers
And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans to fight against it
Because of the sword and of the famine and of the pestilence
And what thou has spoken has come to pass
And behold thou seest it
And thou has said unto me
O Lord God buy thee the field for money
And take witnesses for the city is given in the hand of the Chaldeans
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah saying
Verse 27
Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh
Is there anything too hard for me?
Therefore thus saith the Lord
Behold I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans
And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
And he shall take it
And the Chaldeans shall fight against the city
Shall come and set fire on the city
And burn it with the houses
Upon whose roofs they've offered incense unto Baal
And poured out drink offerings unto other gods to provoke me to anger
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah
Have only done evil before me from their youth
For the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger
With the work of their hands
Sayeth the Lord
Look at verse number 31
For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger
And of my fury from the day that they built it
Even unto this day that I should remove it
From before my face
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel
And of the children of Judah
Which they've done to provoke me to anger
They, their kings, their princes, their priests
And their prophets and the men of Judah
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem
Look, God doesn't have a very favorable view
Of the track record of the children of Israel on obeying the Lord
I mean, do they have a good track record of
Well, they obeyed the Lord most of the time
He's saying, look, even from the day that the city was even built
Even from when they took over Jerusalem and built it and made it the city of David
He's saying, you know what, even from that day forward
There was so much sin and so much iniquity that just had gotten him mad
And that just kept making him mad
And kept bothering him and kept making him angry
To where he was just all that time premeditating
The day that eventually he's gonna have to throw them all out
Eventually he's gonna have to destroy the city
Because of all their evil, all their wickedness
What was some of the wickedness that they did?
Verse 33, and they've turned unto me the back and not the face
Though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them
Yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction
But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name to defile it
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom
To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech
So they're practicing infant sacrifice, human sacrifice
Which, by the way, has been carried out by all people throughout this whole world
Of virtually all nationalities have been involved in this wickedness
Including the United States of America, it's called abortion
But they've done this in ancient civilizations
Throwing babies into the river, passing them through the fire
Smothering them, dunking them in ice water
All the different things, the horrific, inhuman things
That people that had no natural affection would do
To an innocent newborn, sick things
Why? Because they want to basically copulate
But they don't want to have a child
So they murder it
Instead of loving their children, being thankful for their children
Considering children a blessing
Wicked, sinful, decadent societies consider children to be a burden
And they don't want children
They consider a burden
And listen to me, if you don't want to have children
Then you're not right with God
There, I said it
If you don't want children, you're not right with God
The Bible teaches that children are a blessing
Children are inherited to the Lord
The fruit of the womb is his will
We should desire to have children
That's what God has planned for us
Obviously different people are at different stages of life
And maybe you're too old to have children
Maybe you're too young to be married
Or anything like that
But you know what, if you just have this attitude of
Oh, I just don't want to have children
Yeah, because you're selfish, that's why
Because you're selfish and self-centered
You say, well, that offends me
Well, I'm sorry that the truth offends you
The Bible tells us be fruitful and multiply
And children are inherited to the Lord
The fruit of the womb is his reward
Happy is the man that hath this quiver full of them
They shall not be ashamed
But they shall speak with the enemies in the gate
And if you think you're smarter than God
Well, no, I think I'll be happier without children
Well, then you're denying what the Bible said
The Bible said that children are a blessing
And happy is the man that hath this quiver full of them
And again, that's a whole sermon
I could turn to hundreds of scriptures on that
But worldly philosophies tell us children are a burden
To be discarded, to be aborted
To be murdered by Planned Barrenhood clinics
Which, by the way, Donald Trump say he loves the good work that Planned Barrenhood does
And listen to me, people
Planned Barrenhood is a satanic, evil temple to Baal
Is what it is
It's a satanic temple worshipping Baal and murdering children
And it's always been that way
It started out by Margaret Sanger in the early 20th century
It was called the Birth Control Federation of America
And then it was later they changed the name to Planned Parenthood
It's a wicked place
And they murder unborn children in that place every single day
And it's funded by your tax dollars
It's funded
And you know what?
Bush didn't take away the fund
Trump's not going to take away the fund
I mean, Trump said he's not going to defund Planned Barrenhood
He already said that
You're a unicorn
You're knight on shining armor
He's not going to defund it
He's going to keep funding Planned Barrenhood
And as they say
Well, we'll fund it, but it just won't be used for abortion
Whatever
You know what that reminds me of?
That's like when people send a check to our church
And they say what they want it to go toward
Like, okay, here's a check to Faithful Word Baptist Church
I want this to go to, you know, let's say we want it to go toward the building or something
It's like, well, oh, okay
So then I guess I'll take those dollars and put them to the building
And then I'll take these dollars over here
I mean, look, let me just help you with math
Okay
Because look, you say, well, that's silly
Yeah, but I had somebody say
Well, I don't like a lot of the stuff that my church is doing
So whenever I write a check, I just write this for the building
You know, because that's something I believe in
Having a building to have church in, you know
They didn't like some of the works that they were doing or some of the ways they were spending the money
I want my money
But here's the thing, it's all going into one bank account
So let's say, okay, let's say you give $1,000 toward the building, right?
Okay, well, let's say we were going to pay, you know, our rent this month
$6,000 some dollars or whatever, okay?
And then let's say you sent that $1,000 that's going to the building
Okay, well, then we spent $5,000 more from somewhere else
But let's say you wrote a check and said, I don't want this to go to the building
No building
Okay, well, then I'll make sure your $1,000 doesn't go to the building, okay?
Does it really make a difference?
Because look, if $30,000 comes in, we're going to spend $30,000
And that's going to help us to get a bigger building or the building we need
Whether you wrote building on it or not
You see what I'm saying?
I want this to go to gospel tracts
Okay, well, here's the thing
Then if we spend your money on gospel tracts, you know what that means?
Other money that we would have spent on gospel tracts, we can now put into the building
And the money that we would have spent on the building but you gave to the building
Now we can spend that on things you don't like
Do you see what I'm saying?
I'm trying to help you understand basic math
It's a shell game
Oh, here at Planned Parenthood, here's $5,000,000
Don't use this on abortions
Oh, okay, we won't use that $5,000,000 on abortions
We'll use that $5,000,000 on the building and the lights and everything else
So that we can use our other money that we already had on abortions
I mean, is anybody here actually so stupid that they don't understand what I just said?
Is anybody here that stupid that would say,
No, I think they're giving them money to do other things besides abortion
I think you're all wrong, Pastor.
I mean, is anybody that dumb to understand that if you give somebody $5,000,000
And that person performs abortions every day that you're funding abortion
Does anybody not get that?
I mean, does anybody not understand that if you're giving them money
And they're murdering babies every day
Yeah, but we'll use different money
Are they checking all the serial numbers on it?
It all goes into a bank account, idiot
I mean, think about it, people
You say, Well, why do you call people idiots?
You know what? If you murder babies, you deserve to be called an idiot
And anybody who votes for this stuff is just as guilty as the people who do it
And anybody who promotes it and defends it is a sick human being
And should get out of here and never come back
Any person here who defends abortion is sick
Get out, you're sick
You're disgusting, you're evil
Murdering infants, murdering newborns
It's ridiculous and gross and disgusting and evil and satanic and wicked
And any other adjective you want to put on it
And anybody who thinks,
Well, our government doesn't fund that
If they're giving millions of dollars to this purveyor of millions of abortions over the years
You're paying for it
And anyone who does
Look, if you're too dumb, I'm sorry
Go, you know, go get some special ed somewhere or something
And then come back and we can have an intelligent conversation
I mean, it gets me mad
I mean, doesn't it get you mad?
Do you get mad about it?
Do you get mad when you write a check to the United States Treasury
And it's going to Planned Parenthood?
It makes me mad
And you know what?
You ought to get mad about it
A righteous man is going to have indignation toward the wholesale slaughter of innocent life
And look what God says about this
He said this is what they're doing
They're murdering children and their babies
It's Planned Parenthood basically
But look what he says
At the end of that statement
He says in verse 35
They built the high places of Baal
Which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom
To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech
Which I commanded them not
Neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination
To cause Judah to descend
God's saying, I never even thought of such a thing
That never even came into my mind
God is too holy to even think of such a thing
It's so disgusting
So don't tell me that God is the author of all of the wicked and sinful things in this world
Because God said that didn't even come into my mind
So what's the Calvinist say to that?
Who claims God's controlling everything
Well that didn't even come into God's mind
Why?
Because God is not that sick, that's why
And only a sick person would murder a baby
It's wicked
And we need to make sin exceeding sinful
And quit making excuses for it and downplaying it
Our government funds abortion by funding Planned Parenthood
Period
I mean look that would be like if somebody said
Well I'm going to fund Faithful Word Baptist Church
But I'm not going to fund any soul winning
I'm not going to fund any soul winning
I don't want to fund any DVDs or CDs
I only want to fund the chairs only
But then we would just take the money that we were going to put on the chairs
And spend it on everything else
I mean look it's not that complicated folks
But you know what half of our country doesn't understand that
They're called the Democrats
And they don't understand that
And they actually think
But now the Republicans are getting just as dumb
Where they think it's dumb
They think the same way now
Well you know what about all the other wonderful things to say
They don't do anything wonderful
Planned Parenthood
Well what about the Condom
That stuff's all sinful
That's a whole other sermon
I got to hurry up and get through this
So God was real mad about them murdering their children
It never even came to his mind
He called it an abomination
He said in verse 36
And now therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel
Concerning this city whereof ye say it
Shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon
By the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence
Behold I will gather them
So now he's giving a message of hope
That after the destruction
After they're scattered
He's going to 70 years later remember
Bring them back to the promised land
And restore not them
Because they're all going to be dead
But their children and grandchildren
And it says
Behold I will gather them out of all countries
Whither I've driven them in mine anger
What your what
God gets angry really
In mine anger
Well maybe anger doesn't really mean anger there
And in my fury
Oh well
Fury yeah I guess that's pretty mad
And in great wrath
Okay yeah he's pretty mad
And I will bring them again unto this place
And I will cause them to dwell safely
And they shall be my people and I'll be their God
Look if God was angry then
He's angry now
God's angry with the wicked everyday
Okay and then look at verse 39
This is a great scripture here
This ties in with the New Testament
And I will give them one heart
And one way that they may fear me forever
For the good of them and of their children after them
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them
That I will not turn away from them
To do them good
But I will put my fear in their hearts
That they shall not depart from me
Now this new covenant that he's going to make with them
This everlasting covenant that's never going to be done away
That's the New Testament
Because it says in Hebrews chapter 8
Referring back to scripture similar to this
That God will make a new covenant with Israel and Judah
Not according to the covenant that he made with their fathers
In the day when he took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt
And he said that the Old Testament
Decayeth and waxeth old and is ready to vanish away
The New Testament replaces the Old Testament
Which is called replacement theology
The New Testament replaces the Old Testament
And I'm not talking about the book
I'm not saying that we replace the book the Old Testament
I'm saying the old covenant that was made with Moses and the children of Israel
That covenant, that testament is replaced by a new better covenant through Jesus
So to say that God made an everlasting covenant with the children of Israel
That they would have that land
No, because that's the old covenant and that was temporary
The new covenant is everlasting
And it was not made just with Israel
It's made with all of mankind
It's made with all flesh
It's made with all people
And it breaks down the middle wall of partition between Jew or Gentile
And it makes us all one in Christ Jesus
Then we're Abraham's seed
And we're one with believers of all nationalities, right?
And then he begins to just reiterate things that we've already talked about
Let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer
Father, we thank you so much for this great chapter
Jeremiah 32, Lord
Where you show two sides of the coin
You talk about your fury, your anger, your wrath on abortion and murder
And then the judgment that was coming because of that
But then you also give hope for another generation that would rise up
And come back to the promised land and love you and be your people
And you would be their God
Lord, I pray that you would raise up a generation in this church of children and infants, Lord
Today that would grow up and love you with all their heart, mind, soul and strength
And that there would be a generation of godly Christians that would be in opposition to the filth of Planned Parenthood and everything else, Lord
And that would stand strong for the truth and the gospel and wholesome good things
And life and liberty, Lord
And righteousness and godliness
Help us to raise godly children that would grow up and love you and serve you
And in Jesus' name we pray, Amen
Please turn to song 472
Song 472
This is my Father's world, song 472
This is my Father's world, this is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise, the morning light, the living light
Who dare their Maker's praise
This is my Father's world, He shines in all that's fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him, as Yours leads to me everywhere
This is my Father's world, oh let me therefore bear
That though the wrong seems thus no stronger, here's the ruler yet
This is my Father's world, the battle is not done
Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied, better than anyone
Song 572
Thank you for watching!
